***** The Official Galaxy Nexus Thread *****

Anyways, this has given me a chance to try out the backup and restore function of ICS. so far..... it's restored nothing. I must be doing it wrong!

Logging into gmarket + gapps in general just does the same thing anyway.

jimlad - just sounds like the USB driver :/ Samsung are pretty bad at USB interfaces (wrong archtype, badly connecting with kies etc...), laptop isn't running a different OS type (64/32) to the other by any chance is it?

The market didn't store all the apps that I downloaded. It only actually registered 2 apps, missing our roughly 15 that I installed since buying it.

Nothing else was restored. (contacts and calendar always sync btw)

You have got "automatic restore" set in Backup&Restore in settings?
 
Just FYI etc, o2 retentions........... (o2 customers get 12month contracts)

12 month
300 mins
unlimited texts
500mb
Handset 120 and 37 per month

or

1gb

Not bad. I got the following from them:

12 Months
400 Mins
Unlimited Texts
1GB Internet
Handset £172.66
£36 a month

Not a bad deal all in all. PLUS I still get to upgrade 3 months early, so in 9 months I get a new phone, and the Nexus will hold its value so I can sell it on at a decent price! ;)

Glad to hear we will be getting Flash support. I called the delivery people today (Yodel) got a nice Scouse lass (if there is such a thing! ;) )to tell me I should have it tomorrow! :)

Finally, that is a nice case on Amazon, I might be tempted! But the glass looks pretty scratch resistant as is, so I will wait and see.
 

The 60% comes from a poll on the XDA forums thread. It affects O2 and Vodafone sim users when using 2G, they operate at the 900Mhz frequency.

Orange, T-mobile and 3 are all unaffected by the volume bug, due to using the 1800Mhz frequency for 2G.

It's thought that this was an oversight by Samsung as there is no 900Mhz frequency in Korea. As the article says, it's more than likely going to be fixed soon by a firmware update. Worst case a recall, but that's very unlikely imo.
 
Chiz - login to https://market.android.com and see if they are there, the Market is a serious pos currently, the older APKs were a lot lot better and more reliable than the current crapheap. imo :)

Yup, all my apps are there.

When I view the market > my apps > not installed there are 2 apps, compared to 3 pages worth online.

It appears as though the paid for apps are there and none of the free ones are.

well least its not the phone, as i dont wanna swap being a o2 handset with a voda sim i fell lucky not to have this volume issue!

strange. both i7 machines, both running win7 64bit
 
The problem appears to be associated with users on the GSM 900MHz band and linked with 2G data connectivity. One quick fix, as noted on the “Google Code” page, says that switching the device's Wi-Fi setting on stops the issue.

Mine is going to be used in 3G mode only, so I shouldnt have this problem right?

Bugger, at LEAST 80% of my time will be on o2 2G network! :( Hopefully a fix rolls out soon!
 
Does anyone know if you can stop the display automatically sleeping? The highest you can set it to is 10 minutes, but I much prefer to not have any limit and just lock it when I want too.
